* "To use black and white instead of color" ("If you change back to color, only new work will be in color." only applies if converting to black and white when switching to black and white mode)
* "To use a picture as the desktop background":
add a third step? It's not quite that easy (at least in the browser)
* "To create custom colors": way too OS-specific
(unless I'm gonna emulate the color selection dialog)
* "To enlarge the size of the viewing area" (`paint_enlarge_area.htm`):
jspaint currently allows you to draw while "Viewing the Bitmap"
* "To zoom in or out of a picture", "To type and format text":
"You can enter text into a picture only in Normal view."
— jspaint handles this case (well, as well as it handles the Normal case)

These instructions are very operating system specific and you may get a completely different color picker.
On some systems the color picker may be utterly useless, and give you less color options than the default palette.

<li>You can also double click on a color in the color box to edit.</li>
